Sentinels last made headlines during the summer when it announced plans to engage in some equity crowdfunding through StartEngine. On July 12, it announced reservations for a crowdfunding investment campaign on equity crowdfunding platform StartEngine. Satisfied with the response, Sentinels announced in August a formal listing of the company on platform.
